Darin Pilacinski

Darin Pilacinski doesn’t just manage wealth; he helps families design the lives they envision. As the founder of True Vision Financial Advisors, Darin works one-on-one with individuals, couples, and families to pursue their financial goals through a client-first approach. He believes that the client’s best interest is paramount, and he works diligently to earn that trust through ethical, detailed, and ongoing advice.

“I am humbled by the trust my clients place in me. My goal is to provide the same financial confidence for my clients that my father’s hard work provided for our family growing up.”

Darin’s passion for financial planning is personal. Growing up in Minneapolis, he watched his mother work multiple jobs to support his father through graduate school. He saw firsthand how disciplined financial growth allowed his mother to eventually stay home with her children, a gift he and his wife, Beth, wanted for their own four children.

After starting his career as a high school teacher, Darin transitioned to the financial industry in 1996 to build a future for his family. He spent a decade mastering the technical side of the industry, serving as a Processor Specialist, Services Manager, and eventually Chief Operations Officer for a firm in St. Paul. These roles gave him a “behind-the-scenes” understanding of the industry that many advisors never see.

In 2010, driven by a desire to help people directly, Darin pivoted to client-facing advising work. Over the next 20 years, he helped hundreds of families navigate retirement planning, college savings, and multi-generational wealth management. In 2019, he launched True Vision Financial Advisors as an independent firm to ensure he had full control over the quality and integrity of the advice he provides.

With over 30 years of experience, Darin combines a “teacher’s heart” with deep industry knowledge. He has successfully completed the FINRA Series 6, 7, 24, 55, and 66 securities licenses (registrations held through LPL Financial).

Darin remains a Minnesota native at heart. When he isn’t helping clients, he is likely spending time with Beth and their four children: Samantha, Maggie, Billy, and Jimmy. Having experienced the transition from “tight budgets” to financial independence himself, he finds his greatest joy in helping other families achieve that same stability.
